Crystal plastic models are applied to textured Zircaloy in order to explain the recent experimental results on yield and creep loci by Suzuki et al. Crystallite orientation distribution functions were developed using texture pole figures obtained on cold-worked stress-relieved and recrystallized Zircaloy-4 tubings. The model predictions are in good agreement with experimental loci, and clearly point out the predominance of prism slip contribution for recrystallized material while the contribution of the basal slip increased as the amount of cold work increased.

Zr Alloys

Zirconium (Zr) alloys are best known for their use in nuclear reactor applications. A hexagonally close-packed structure with a low c/a ratio and very limited slip systems leads to strong textures in these alloys during fabrication processes. These alloys are used in cladding applications for encapsulating fuel pellets, and undergo various stress conditions in-service. Hence, it is necessary to understand the creep properties of Zr alloys to predict the life of reactor claddings. Due to the unique texture, the creep deformation of these alloys is anisotropic in nature. The texture of Zircaloys was determined by X-ray diffraction experiments, and expressed in terms of pole figures and crystalline orientation distribution functions. Biaxial creep testing of thin walled tubing was used to study the creep anisotropy. Creep loci evaluation based on the experimental data and model predictions are compared. It is found that the models can predict the creep loci for recrystallized alloy very well. However, they fail to explain the behavior of the cold worked alloys. When stress enhancements due to the grain boundary sliding are taken into account, the predicted creep loci correlated well with that constructed from the experimental data.

Microscopic Inspection

Some ancient metallic art craft, utensils, silverware and weapons are externally undistinguishable from modern ones. Not only the general aspect and shape but also some uses have not changed through the ages. Moreover, when just some small pieces can be recovered from archaeological sites, the samples can not easily be ascribed to any known use and consequently identified. It is clear that mechanical processing has changed along history but frequently only a "microscopic" inspection can distinguish among different techniques. Some bronze samples have been collected from the Quarto d’Altino (Veneto) archaeological area in Italy (paleovenetian culture) and some model samples have been prepared by a modern artisan. The sample textures have been measured by X-ray Diffraction techniques. (111), (200) and (220) pole figures were used to calculate Orientation Distribution Functions and further recalculate pole figures and inverse pole figures. The results were compared with modern forging technology results. Textures are able to discern between hammering ancient techniques for sheet production and modern industrial rolling procedures. However, as it is demonstrated in the present work, forgery becomes difficult to detect if the goldsmith, properly warned, proceeds to erase the texture history with some hammering post-processing. The results of this contribution can offer to the archaeologists the opportunity to take into consideration the texture techniques in order to discuss the origin (culture) of the pieces and the characteristic mechanical process developed by the ancient artisan. Texture can also help the experts when discussing the originality of a certain piece keeping however in mind the cautions indicated in this publication.

Normalization Factors

The calculation of orientation distribution functions from incomplete pole figures can be carried out by a least squares approximation of the texture coefficients Clμν and the normalization factors Nhkl to the available experimental data. This procedure is less susceptable to instabilities due to experimental errors if the normalization factors can be calculated independently of the coefficients Clμν. In the case of cubic materials, the relationship F20 = 0 to be fulfilled by pole figure values provides an independent condition for the calculation of the normalization factor. This condition can still be improved by taking the slopes of the pole density curves at α = αmax⁡ and α = 90° into account. An economic way to consider the slope in the pole figures is to use a cubic spline interpolation.

Pipe Joints

This work aims to clarify the influence of texture type and intensity on the shape memory effect (SME) in NiTiNb shape memory alloy (SMA) pipe joints, especially revealing the causes for the anisotropy of SME via texture changes. Three NiTiNb rods with different intensities of the {111}<110> texture were fabricated, and their microstructures, crystalline orientation distribution functions and inverse pole figures were obtained by X-ray diffraction and electron backscatter diffraction measurements. Simultaneously, the SME was characterized by inner-diameter recoverability of the corresponding pipe joints. For a given intensity of the {111}<110> texture, the SME of the NiTiNb pipe joints strongly depended on the expansion direction due to {111}<110> orientation-induced anisotropy of SME. In addition, both the SME and anisotropy of NiTiNb pipe joints increased with the increased intensity of the {111}<110> texture. Therefore, a suitable expansion direction and strong texture intensity should be considered for high SME in NiTiNb pipe joints.

Texture evolution in Mg-13wt%Li-X alloy cold-rolled from 1.35 mm to 0.34 mm thickness was investigated, by obtaining pole figures and orientation distribution functions (ODFs). Punching tests were conducted to reveal the effect of texture nature on formability. It was found that: (1) the textures of the as-received sheet are characterized by α fiber texture, a γ fiber texture and a cubic texture in both cold-rolled and annealed conditions; (2) with thickness reduction though rolling, the intensity of the γ fiber texture continuously increases and finally the γ fiber texture connects into {111} tube texture, the texture of <11 0> orientation flows towards {223}<11 0> along α fiber, the cubic texture of {001}<100> turns into {035}<100>, while some grains concentrate at {011}<41 1> orientation; (3) good punching behavior of the cold-rolled sheet corresponds to the appearance of a well-developed γ fiber texture.

Good Agreement

In an attempt to investigate the accuracy of the vector method for crystal texture analysis, a comparison has been made between the inversion result of the pole figure made by X-ray studies using the VM and the inversion result of the pole figure made by ECP. A comparison has been made between the inversion by the pole figure generated by direct measurement of orientations by ECP and the actual orientation distribution (measured by ECP) displayed in the same mode. The materials studied were recrystallized Fe–3% Si and Fe–50% Ni. The main findings were:• In the mean intensities of each individual Box, the inversion results of pole figures made from orientations determined by ECP were in good agreement with the inversion from (100) pole figures made by X-ray or actual orientation distribution (made by ECP) displayed in the same mode as the vector method.• For Fe–3% Si, quite a good agreement was obtained between the results inverted from X-ray pole figure and the direct measurement by ECP for the intensity distribution of minor texture component along ζ angle. It was concluded from these investigations that the inversion of the pole figure by the vector method is accurate enough for most practical purposes.

Textured Materials

New method for simulation of orientation distribution functions of textured materials has been proposed. The approach is based on the concept to describe any texture class by a superposition of anisotropic partial fibre components. The texture maximum spread is described in a “local” coordinate system connected with the texture component axis. A set of Eulerian angles γ1,γ2,γ3 are introduced with this aim. To specify crystallite orientations with respect to the sample coordinate system two additional sets of Eulerian angles are introduced besides γ1,γ2,γ3. One of them, (Ψ0,θ0,ϕ0), defines the direction of the texture axis of a component with respect to the directions of the cub. The other set, (Ψ1,θ1,ϕ1), is determined by the orientation of the texture component and its texture axis in the sample coordinate system. Analytical expressions approximating real spreads of crystallites in three-dimensional orientation space have been found and their corresponding model pole figures have been derived. The proposed approach to the texture spread description permits to simulate a broad spectrum of real textures from single crystals to isotropic polycrystals with a high enough degree of correspondence.

Three-dimensional orientation distribution functions were calculated from neutron diffraction pole figures of unwound cylinders taken at different distances from the centre of cold drawn Al-wires. Their features change from the axially symmetric type at the very centre of the wire towards a texture near to the rolling type at the surface. Relations between the three-dimensional function and ordinary fibre texture pole figures were used to study the dependence of the textures on certain processing variables for cold drawn as well as recrystallized wires.

During the last decade the titanium alloys were extensively used in a variety of applications due to their good mechanical properties, high biocompatibility and corrosion resistance. β-type Ti alloys composed of Nb, Ta and Zr elements have received much attention, because they feature high specific strength, bio-corrosion resistance, no allergic problems and biocompatibility. A Ti-29Nb-9Ta-10Zr (wt.%) alloy was subjected to thermo-mechanical processing and testing. Two states were investigated: recrystallized and 80% cold-rolled. Data concerning phase structure and developed texture, expressed by Inverse Pole Figures (IPFs) and Orientation Distribution Functions (ODFs), was obtained and analyzed.

Using finite elements over Rodrigues space, methods are developed for the formation and inversion of pole figures. The methods take advantage of the properties of Rodrigues space, particularly the fact that geodesics corresponding to pole figure projection paths are straight lines. Both discrete and continuous pole figure data may be inverted to obtain orientation distribution functions (ODFs) in Rodrigues space, and we include sample applications for both types of data.
